    Well, it is their loss, this will easily pay for my weekend of coke and hookers.

    You and Ciaran betting on it nearly put me off, been saying it would win for weeks though so sticking with it.

    My previews today

    Gold Cup

    Provided the ground isn’t soft or softer, I can’t see past Djakadam. He’s been run out of 2 Gold Cups (won by Coneygree and Don Cossack). There is nothing of their caliber this year and he is still only an 8yo, approaching his peak. He had an interrupted preparation last year and he was only a 6yo the year before; this year everything (reportedly) has gone right. The only danger could have been the ever-popular Cue Card who fell when going ominously well last year (how nice it would be to see him win); but he is now an 11yo and can’t be improving now. Therefore, I firmly believe, given decent ground, this is Djakadam’s Gold Cup to lose. If it turns up soft, then Native River may pull it off

    Triumph
    I’ve had my eye on Charli Parcs for some time and I’m not going to desert him now. The unbeaten Defi Du Seuil is an obvious danger. My bet would be Charli Parcs with a saver on DDS to cover the stake. Coeur de Lion finished 3rd to DDS after attempting to jump a path and not fluent at the last. Wouldn’t have to improve much to figure so looks like the ew bet at 33/1 Betfred

    Albert Bartlett
    Death Duty is the obvious selection but there are plenty in with a chance, notably Peregrine Run 4 straight wins last year (including a win over Wholestone) followed by a 3rd in a G2 pipe opener in January and Augusta Kate who had every chance when falling in the race won by the selection. Penhill and Tin Soldier also with place claims. This race is more open than the betting suggests and 5/2 the fav is pretty skinny. For interest I would take Peregrine Run ew at 25/1 B365 and a big ew bet on Augusta Kate at 8/1 Betfair
    (Edit. Peregrine Run not in this now)
